- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017EVERY graduate, High School or College needs this book! Forget the planners and diary's and starbucks coffee cards-- give your grads what they need to be ADULTS. This is quick, easy read for our short attention-spanned generation of grads. But it's like a toolkit for success in college if that's where they're off to, or in LIFE if that's where they're off to! I have one out of the nest at 30 (turned out not half bad), plus a Jr. in High School and a Fresh in College. I've pre-read the book and am giving it to all 3 of my kids. These are not "rocket science" principals, rather common sense things that we all need to be reminded of. It's a friendly, easily consumable format that our next generation will totally relate to. You can get them the hardcover or just email them the kindle book and let them put their nose in their device and get something valuable out of it! For everyone who has fallen in love with the revolution of ScreamFree Parenting (https://www.amazon.com/Screamfree-Parenting-Hal-Edward-Runkel/dp/0767927435), hopefully you've been practicing your parenting with your kids for 18-22 years and now you are sending them off-- give them this success manual to give them the guidance they need to succeed in life. This is not going to help them get a 1600 on their SAT or get them to ace their GMAT's, but if you want them to have the skills to MAKE THOSE RIGHT CHOICES at doing what they need to do to achieve those goals, or any other goals in life, give them this book as a foundation. This really could be the Manual for Millenials! Thanks Hal. Keep up the amazing work. (and your daughter Hannah is a lucky girl indeed! Can't wait to hear how she changes the world for the better!).
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018As with all of Hal Runkel’s books and daily posts, this was such a refreshing and inspiring read! I bought it to give to my goddaughter for her high school graduation. I actually highlighted key points for her (As I read it before I gave it to her!), especially since Hal indicated his own daughter didn’t even read it right away. Starting college is a big enough responsibility for any young adult and giving them one more thing to read seems almost like a burden. But the format of the book works easily as one to pick up, put down, pick up, go back to later, etc. I will purchase another copy when it’s my sons turn to go away to college (By that time I will probably highlight even more for him!). I hope it will be as great a gift for him, as it was for her last year. Wonderful book!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017Have read all of Hal Runkel's books. Purchased this book with thoughts of giving it to college age grandchildren. Well, it was a great little handbook on how to live live no matter what your age. Grandma found some pointers to put into practice in her own life!! It's the kind of book you can go back to again and again and gain fresh perspectives. The format makes it appealing to all kinds of readers. Decided to give it to each of my children's families for whoever wants to pick it up and read the whole book or a chapter that deals with something current in life. It is not preachy and Hal has a sense of humor as well. You won't be disappointed!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017This book states it's designed for the young adult. I think that's unfortunate because the content really applies to all adults.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2017As always, Hal Runkel does not dissapoint with his latest and greatest in the world of ScreamFree. This book is a MUST read for any young adult getting ready to venture into the world. And honestly - it's a great refresher to anyone! ScreamFree Parenting was life-changing for me personally and what a blessing it is to be able to start our young adults off with this type of thinking. I ordered a copy for myself and am buying at least one more as a graduation gift. Hal has such a way with words and his books are such easy reads.
I absolutely love the forward from Hannah, Hal's daughter. How special!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2021Like most kids my daughter said.."oh cool! Thanks!" And set the book down so I started to read some to her and instantly liked it. It opens with the daughter talking to us which was nice and relatable for a younger girl. I liked the references to How I met your mother.. I havnt gotten real far with the book but so far we are enjoying it!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018After reading this little book which I got for my graduating daughter, I decided to go back and get two more for my sons for when they are ready to fly the coop. I actually had fun underlining parts and adding comments and doodles in the edges because I felt like this was the kind of advise I would still be giving my daughter if she was living at home. I liked that I could tell her that it is meant to be picked up and started from any chapter and that the chapters are short enough to read during any little break in the day. It was like a little piece of me packed up to be with her in the dorm-room for whenever she needs a taste of home.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021I got this book for my 18-year-old but I think it's applicable to adults of any age. I've read it twice now and have shared a lot of the information with my family and Friends when they ask for advice about life. The author did a great job explaining things.
